ok i have a 5hp (4000rpm) subaru, http://www.subarupower.com/engines/detail.lasso?mdl=EY20, with a 16 tooth centrifugal clutch

i was wondering how i would gear it and what inner spool diameter i would need to get a good wakeskating speed (i dont expect deep water starts)

any help would be awesome!!!!

my buddy has a 5Hp Tecumseh w/ a 7.5" spool and 6:1 gear ratio (10T/60T) and he can even deepwater. He is about 165lbs but I am 195lbs and it will pull me off a starting platform on a wakeskate. It is old, ragged, and worn in. He yanked that exhaust pipe off and that thing rips.
